I was the first developer hired for this medical startup, whose goal was to create a communication platform that would bring patients and physicians together to create a continuum of care aimed at making better patient outcomes and reducing medical costs across the board.In my time there, I worked directly with the consultants from Pivotal labs and other internal company hires to develop a set of user-centric features across the technology stack. I focused on enhancing application stability and user engagement, as measured by increased system reliability by 90%, by employing robust testing suites and innovative coding practices.I played a pivotal role in securing project funding, demonstrating exceptional ability in articulating the value and potential of intelligent and forward-thinking solutions during pitch meetings. I did this while helping foster a culture of excellence and continuous learning among the development team.
